Today our book club group finished our book. We also had a thoughtful discussion about our book. My questions were, “If Timothy hadn’t been caught, do you think he would’ve felt bad?” and “Do you think he hates his Dad?”. These questions both generated a good amount of discussion. Some of the other questions were, “How does it make you feel when Timothy has to be a father figure?”, “Do you think Timothy is uncomfortable that James and Mrs B are dating?”, and “Why do you think Timothy’s Dad called?”. All of these questions generated a fair amount of response. I think that was a good discussion because we listened to each other.

Rylyn, Hannah, Teia, and I recently had our first book club meeting. We’re reading House Arrest by KA Holt. It’s about a boy named Timothy who steals medicine for his baby brother. He then gets house arrest and is forced to write in a journal. His dad left and his family doesn’t have enough money to pay for basic necessities. We’ve read about a third of the book and I am wondering what will happen next. I feel bad for Timothy because his mom focuses only on his younger brother, Levi, and doesn’t have enough time for him.
